Is there a way to get around work permits?

Because it is so frustrating when the player I want to sign gets his work permit denied. I'm playing as Mansfield and so far it has happened with four decent players (Timothee Atouba, an ex-Brazilian international whose name I forget, a young Canadian goalkeeper who has just signed for Portsmouth and now Lee Chun-Soo, a Korean international) It's annoying...

I've got a feeder club, Staines in the Blue Square South. How do I use them to get a work permit for other players?

I thought that was standard? :/ I've hired staff with good international backgrounds and lots of experience so that may be why. (Lundekvam as a scout, Ashton as Under 18s coach, Iwan Roberts as Under 18s manager, John Hartson, Craig Forrest and Andy Van Der Meyde as coachs and, recently, Owen Hargreaves as assistant manager)

Once you're a couple of seasons in to the game, Croatia joins the EU... If you get a Croatian team as a feeder club then, you can loan a player to them for 2 years and they will gain EU Nationality/work permit.
